I would like to make an Android app that shows an icon in the notification bar, however I don't want an actual notification to appear when you scroll down the bar.
The point is to show info only through a changing icon.
Is this possible to do, even if it requires some strange workaround?
I'll be glad if someone can help.
Thanks.
You can make a permanent notice is not removed swipe,
but only in the tray icon - rather impossible.
Persistent notification
I have a scenario wherein in need to implement a similar effect like the one in gmail app notification.
while closing the notification if you see in the screenshot the archive and reply view are overlapped by the email textview.
Please suggest any ideas
Thanks
It is possible to update notifications once you've created them. See here for more information.
Just set a big view style to your notification and the dragging mechanism will be added for you. Note this will only work starting from Jelly Bean 4.1.
This guide will be of some help: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/notifiers/notifications.html
Maybe im just not searching the right keywords, but im trying to replace the home icon w. a notifications beacon that by default is grey , but turns red and displays a number inside the icon that represents how many new notifications a user has similar to the ones found in most of the major social networking apps ( facebook, g+ , foursquare ect..)
If asking for a snippet is to much can someone at least roughly outline how i would go about creating such a thing?
I was also looking for this. You just have a look at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9033367/custom-notification-view.This might help.
Does anyone have an idea or sample code that make the notification bar widget(at the bottom) that is the same as one in Google+ application in Android?
Thanks in advance,
Tri.
The idea is this widget is the same as notification bar of Android, instead of this is at the bottom and is in customization program (same author Google ;-) )
Below are necessary screenshot for easier.

In my app I want to display different icons for the application. Changes should be according to the scenario. For example, it will mark the number of days remaining for the task completion. On the android menu this icon will display the number of days remaining. If anyone has any idea for this, I would appreciate it. Thanks.
There are actually a number of ways to achieve this. If you notice Google's clock app these days, it does show the current time.

This can be done easily. Within your activity code, just write:
